Jenn was walking to BJ's room to crash for the night when she ran into Daniel, the guy from the crew. He shyly asked Jenn if she would like to go for a walk. She agreed and they went out into the nice, crisp night. The nighttime sky was lit up by all the lights from the signs and buildings. Jenn had never been to New York before and she loved it so far. They walked down the street and grabbed a pretzel from one of the vendors.

"So do you like your job?" She asked Daniel.

"Yeah, it's great. I get paid to go to a bunch of places to put a stage up. It's kinda like playing with really big lego."

"I never thought of it like that." Jenn laughed.

"It's cool. I work with a great bunch of guys and the Backstreet Boys always make sure that we're ok. A lot of groups don't really care about the crew too much. But, these guys know that without us there is no show."

"That's so cool. We don't do anything, we just veg."

"I think you guys do more then you realize."

"Oh really?"

"Yeah, I mean you guys treat them normally. So does the crew and band but it's not the same. I mean Mickey will fight with anyone but yet she's there if one of the guys need them. Same with you, you and Brian tease each other a lot but you find comfort in each other too."

"Wow, you're deep.

"Naw, I just see things the way they are."

"I like the way you see things. I'm comfort and you play with big lego. Pretty simple and fun. Gotta like it."

"Whatever you say." He smiled. "So do you want to head back. It's getting late and I don't want your friends freaking out on me for having you out late?"

"Don't worry I won't let them freak out on you. But yeah we should head back. I have to see if I can stay in BJ's room so I want to get back before she goes to sleep."

"We're going to Europe tomorrow so you'll want to be well rested for that. I hope I get to talk to you again soon though."

"Oh, I'm sure you'll get the chance." She said as they arrived at BJ's door. Jenn knocked and then nervously looked at Daniel. He was nice to look at, tall and physically built. She was imagining him working his muscles on the stage when BJ opened the door.

"Well now that I know you're safe I'm gonna head back to my room." He told Jenn.

"Alirght." She blushed. "Thanks for the pretzel."

"No problem. Hey BJ."

"Hey Danny." She said grabbing Jenn and dragging her into the room. "What are you doing here? And what are you doing with Danny huh?" She smiled.

"Well I'm here cause when I got to my room after the concert Nick and Mickey were in there. So I decided to come crash here for the night and on my way over I ran into Danny. He asked me if I wanted to go for a walk. Of course I said yes! I'd be stupid not too. I mean he's so..."

"Nick is in your room with Mickey?" BJ interupted.

"Yeah, but hello? He also said that he hoped to talk to me again soon."

"What was going on with my brother? Were they fighting? Fucking? What?"

"Argh. Ok, since you're not that interested in my life. I don't know what's going on. When I showed up Mick was at the door and Nick was in our room. Wait a minute! Nick was IN our room! Anyhow I don't know what's going on. They both had this look on their face so I decided not to stick around."

"I hope everything goes good for them. And for you too. Danny's cute and I think you guys make a cute couple."

"You're still thinking of them though aren't you?"

"Jenn, he's my brother. I love him so much and I know that she makes him happy. I'm just glad that he dumped Mandy. But I am interested in your life as well. I'm sorry if it sounded like I wasn't."

"Hey don't apologize. I know that this isn't as big as the Mick and Nick news."

"Sure it is! Everyone's falling in love it seems. Jo and Brian are so happy and so are Laura and AJ."

"You sound sad."

"Well it's not too often I get a boyfriend. My family is with me all the time, the only guys I ever really see are the other Boys and the crew. The guys would never even consider me cause I'm Nick's little sister so I'm like their sister. And as for the guys in the crew, they're too scared to come near me."

"Oh shitty."

"I don't mind too much but I know there will be a day when it really gets me. I just hate seeing girls treat the guys like shit. I'm glad that you and your friends came along. Plus you guys are good to me and everyone else. A lot of the past girlfriends either didn't pay attention to me and the others or they did but it was because they were kissing ass."

"Well I don't think you'll ever see any of us kiss ass. We're not that type. And as far as the couples go, I don't think we have to worry there either. Jo and Brian are so sweet together and AJ is the best thing to happen to Laura. I'm glad she lost her virginity to someone who would go slow with her and make her feel good."

"She was a virgin? Ok that sounds dumb but it's just that she seems to get along with everyone and usually people like that get guys. That's the way it seems to me anyhow."

"She was just waiting for the right moment. She can see a guys true colours. Well we should get some sleep. Danny told me to get lots of sleep cause we have a big trip ahead of us tomorrow."

"Have any of you guys ever been to Europe?"

"Never. Well not me, Laura and Mickey anyhow. I don't know about Jo."

"You'll like it. Parts of it anyhow. The plane ride sucks though."

"Yeah well as long as I'm on the same plane as Danny I think I'll be ok!" She smiled.

The night was very warm and calm, the lights from the city blocked the stars. Mickey was standing on her balcony, Nick was standing behind her wrapping his arms around her waist. Mickey leaned her head back into his shoulders and took in the moment. She knew that the two of them should get some sleep, especially Nick, she didn't want him to be too tired. But at the same time she was afraid to end the evening. She still wasn't sure if she had imagined the past few hours or if it was real. She was standing in New York with the guy she wanted to be with, he didn't have a girlfriend and he told her that he wanted to be with her. He squeezed her a little tighter and she smiled, she wasn't imagining this. It felt too right to be an imagination.

"Whatcha thinking of?" He asked her.

"The stars." She answered. "I'm imagining the stars since I can't see them. Are you tired?"

"No, why, are you trying to get rid of me?"

"Not likely. I just don't want you to be overtired for Europe."

"I won't be. I'll sleep on the plane, it makes the trip go by a little faster."

"Oh so that's your secret to flying. Sleep."

"Yep, it's the only time that I'm really gauranteed to get any. I don't have to worry about being called out to do an interview or anything. Flying within the States isn't the same, the flights are shorter and you can get calls on the plane. We can still get calls but we don't really have to worry about them. So I like to put on my headphones and lay back and relax, think and sleep."

"Thinking can be dangerous." She joked.

"Yeah I know but I like to live on the edge."

"Oh you wild and crazy guy."

"Crazy for you." He said as he kissed her on the cheek. She turned around and faced him.

"Good." She smiled. "I'm kinda fond of you too."

"Good." He smiled at her and then leaned down and softly kissed her lips. "So, are you looking forward to Europe?"

"Yeah. I still can't believe I'm going. It should be cool. Probably a lot better now that we won't be fighting."

"We never fought. We just frustrated each other. There's a difference."

"Oh, ok. Well let's hope we don't do either."

"Sounds good to me." And he leaned down and kissed her again.

"That's a good way to assure it won't happen." She said as they headed in to the room. "Do you wanna stay here tonight?"

"Nah, I better go to my room. If I stay we'll never get any sleep."

"Oh, so sure of yourself eh?"

"I just meant that we would stay up looking at the stars and talking. But if you had something else on your mind......"

"You're just a sly fox aren't you. You're so cute though. I was going to make you sleep in Jenn's bed anyhow."

"Speaking of Jenn, where do you think she is?"

"She probably went to your sister's room. She cool about knowing when to leave."

"Ya, she's cool. All of your friends are cool, and cute too." He joked.

"Hey!" She yelled as she jokingly slapped Nick. He was laughing.

"Hey yourself, you think my friends are cute."

"Ok, you have me there."

"Get some sleep and I'll see you in the morning." He said kissing her forehead.

"Alright then. You get some sleep too."

"I will, I'll be dreaming of you." They kissed each other goodnight and Mickey closed the door behind him. She crawled into bed with a huge smile on her face. She was definately looking forward to Europe.
